Tutorials for future use
-
Hey Everyone,
After seeing Eric's nice tutorial for adding grooves to a tube it reminded me to something I do which I hope will help others.
When I see tutorial like this, I think "...I don't need that now, but in the future I might..." So I put the model in my SelfPaceTutorials directory and restart SketchUp. Then I have the Tutorial under my Help menu for future use.
Hope that helps somebody.

Yes, Brad. I'm going to give that a try. Thanks!
-
Thanks for the recognition Brad and nice tip. I did not even know that folder existed until now.

Dear Brad,
Where exactly is the folder? I have looked in the Google Sketchup folder and all other folders, but cannot find a SelfPaceTutorials directory. I am using the free version of Sketchup 6.
Kind regards,
Bob -
Dear Brad,
Belay that request as I have just found the directory. Thanks for the tip.

Isn't that clever.
Here's the directory on my PC:
C:\Program Files\Google\Google SketchUp 6\Tools\HelpContent_en\SelfPacedTutorials\
-
Is this working for everyone else?
If I drop a skp in the Self Paced Tutorials folder, I cannot see it from the help menu. -
Do you restart SU? (I haven't tried it yet...)

Yes I restart.
The tuts are sat in the same folder as the Introduction skp which show up on the menu.

Are you using thispath:
C:\Program Files\Google\Google SketchUp 6\Resources\en-US\selfpacedtutorials
or maybe you just copied things from SU5 when upgrading and maybe it was located somewhere else?

I'm having the same problem as Dylan. I've placed the file into the right folder (with the intro.skp file) and restarted SU but, alas, no love.
-
Hm. I tried and it shows up as a menu item.

I went to the tutorial, right clicked and save link as (Firefox) and put it in the same folder that SchreiberBike mantioned, started SU went to Help - SelfHelpTutorials and it was in there.
A great tip.....
